Nice to see something come apart well without Kroil soaking, Torch Heat & bad words. Thanks for editing well and compiling a day into 15 minutes of morning coffee ☕️ educating video enjoyment 🇺🇸🤠
I just found your channel yesterday. Tonight I have searched for and found the first episode for the Preparation H tractor. Watching them all great videos
Squatch, Thanks for doing such a good job. Your explanations are great - you use correct and understandable terms and words describing parts and procedures are greatly appreciated. Your use of flattened cardboard to cover your work area and to protect your shop set a great exam please for all of us.
Great video Squatch. It's nice to see the H getting some well deserved love. And like the rest of your machines it will be better than new when you're done. Cheers
I'm looking forward to the preparation H project! You won't know how to act without all the fabricating, machining and engineering that was involved with X231!
The grandfather I am named after passed before I was born, my mother's father was my only grandfather, a great grandfather, a great man, but the most farmer of the sort, all his tools were the cheapest and worst, like his repairs, but few worked harder! Everyone needs a random cheap bolt story from grandpa!
Toby, you need to keep the carriage bolt in for the shift lever just for Grandpa. Just put a lock nut on the other side. It's your tractor to do whatever you want, it's just a suggestion.
I see another painting episode down the road despite what you said last time! Anyway, when you take these machines apart like this the amount of space they take up must at least triple.
What a difference it will be working on a tractor that is still popular vs. a one of a kind. It will be fun to hear the stories that go with this tractor too.
Thanks Toby! Nice to see the H coming apart for the project your looking to do. Hopefully I’m getting mine out this weekend to drive a little. Can’t wait to see what comes next!
Ya know, were it ME I would leave grandpa's carriage bolt in place, maybe I'd drill it and put a cotter pin in it. Just as a memory! But it's yours to do with what you wish. Carry on.
I made a belly pump coupler shaft for my uncle one time. A friend of his needed one. So my uncle gave me his for a patern to make one. Done a lot of projects like that for him when I worked in a machine shop.
Well, it's really nice to finally catch the very begining of a Squatch253 project as a recently subscribed fan. So what it ain't a Cat Toby's rebuilding. It's mechanical and needs so tendar loving care. That's all I care about. Especially knowing it's gonna be fascinating watching him find and fix whatever the problem is the reassemble everything to perfectly working condition. In the process getting rid of some things no longer needed and explaining to us why.
Good start on a worthwhile project. I am sure the removal of the gear whine will help avoid deafness down the road.. And she will look very spiffy when done
Looks like a very fun and mostly straight forward project. Fun fact where on the Farmall H,M and MD mounts the belt bully drive, on a Belarus 500 the hydraulic reservoir and pump with the corresponding drive gear are mounted.
My vacuum sounds the same. Hehe. I would say that thru all your years of fixing things, you have found better ways to repair stuff. Like the gaskets and wiring and other things. Neat how we learn things. Have a great day.
Good timing for a new project, Just plowed my way through the last of the early X231 episodes, so I`m pretty much all up to date on the yellow machines in the fleet.
Sure nice to see simple quality engineering at it's best I would just love to think engineer's designer's ect. Would learn from past mistakes quality designs 👍
I know the frustration that comes from dealing with a one of a kind machine that doesn't have replacement parts available. The H will be a break from the stress of figuring out how to make your own parts. I know you mentioned that you didn't have it figured out how to do the repair on the flywheel insert for the live PTO system. I have an idea that I would like to share with you. Basically it would involve making sure that the flywheel is true so that the new insert can be sized for a press fit. The Dutchman style of connecting the insert to the flywheel is a good idea but it is obvious that it was never a press fit and that allowed movement between the flywheel and the insert. If you size the insert for about a. 003 to. 005 press fit and use the same arrangement for locking it in place, you will have a stable setup that doesn't put excessive stress on the flywheel. If you think this might work try it. I'm guessing that the flywheel is probably cast iron so I wouldn't want to expose it to thermal shock or an excessively tight press fit. I hope this helps.
Thing’s sure were simpler back then! Only 15 minutes to get it torn down to the transmission! Nowadays they struggle to put a headlight in a vehicle in that time! Lol 😂
That light bar! Ours was just like that, when I mounted my "new" toolbox last year, I found that our H's light bar had been backwards for decades, and none of us ever knew it! 80+ years of farming, going to shows, and being around machinery, and not once did any of us ever notice that our light bar was backwards. As of now, the stickers my grandfather put on are behind the toolbox, and the box itself is full of IH tools (and various other things) that he collected. I wonder how many other light bars are on backwards, I'm going to start checking them now.
@@gusthefarmer5608 🤔 might need to put on a history detective hat , to be so common wonder if there was obviously a not so obviously reason it’s so prevalent 🤷♂️ ✌️
well one H has a custon tool box mounted in front of the light bar, and with the light bar flipped around they used the nuts on the u bolts that hold the light bar on to hold the custom tool box on.
Eggcellent Batman! 🤗 btw you got a new viewer and she’s happy to be starting at the first episode 👍 Not going into details but the missus now watches the squatch253 channel 🤦♂️ 😳 I feel she managed to get a membership to an a men only club ! Hahaha .. naw it’s all good 😝😎 … ✌️ 🤙
noticed a familiar sound when you switched off your shop vac. brass bushing on top of motor can be replaced sealed ball bearing , there is even a youtub on it maybe in your spare time lol
When my dad died I found all kinds of “ broken” wrenches and wrenches welded on wrenches and wrenches bent to shapes of other wrenches….and I’m sure every one had a purpose
Squatch, you have got to make sure the broken wrench makes it back in the tool box, post restoration. Way to much sentimental value not to. RIP grandpa, I’m sure he had a smile on his face when you got down to the wrench.
Preparation H 😂😂 Thanks for the video and laugh Leave the carriage bolt You may have already said How did you come across the two prototype tractors If you have what video is it in
Story of Granddad and the carriage bolt is too cool!!! You should leave the carriage bolt if nothing else to carry the story!!! We have enough cancelation in our world today. Go history!!!
Those tools that don’t have a lifetime warranty I keep them if they brake just for special purpose jobs. Even a gear shift from an auto on the tree is now a brake soppy before I found one narrow enough for the old Toyotas or Datsuns of long ago
I’m still planning to take my Farmall 460 chassis and putting letter series tin, gas tank, steering, steering tree, light bar and the front wishbone. It probably will be from a M and the hood will have to be extended. I was looking at the mounting bolts on your tractor’s transmission cover and wonder if they’re the same as the 460’s. It will be a Super 6 TA.
Problematic tractors that seem to never want leave the shop has become such a norm for me, I sometimes don't know how to act when one stays fixed after making the one repair it came in for!
The tall narrow oil filter says late model. It's rare to find a good distillate manifold. Most guys including me upgraded to the gasoline head. I'm enjoying this more than I expected. 3 inches of snow this morning insuring LeSueur will be about right.
Thanks for the video! At around the 9min mark you were pointing out the oil leaks near the seal. To me it looks like the casting is cracked near the seal. Unless it’s just a weird oil marking? Just my .02. Looking forward for the next!
I stripped a diff late last week. It’s my first work in anger in a car I’m rebuild. Because of you, I’m chasing threads, cutting my own gaskets and scrubbing parts with diesel and a toothbrush. I’m not sure how I feel about this.
@@squatch253 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks tho: I’m good with it. The did was seized, but the failure is in the pinion shaft bearing. Struggling to pull the bearing from the aluminium body. (I want to avoid introducing heat if possible.) There’s also a shim on one of the Sun gears is gone, but that’s a cheap part. So yeah, thanks for the teaching moments!
And we're off, folks! Here's to another successful refurb!
Nice to see something come apart well without Kroil soaking, Torch Heat & bad words. Thanks for editing well and compiling a day into 15 minutes of morning coffee ☕️ educating video enjoyment 🇺🇸🤠
The more i see Preparation H the more I love it
I was never a vintage tractor guy until I found your channel, now once I have acreage I want to get a vintage tractor to restore.
You don't have to wait until you have acreage, all you need is a garage to work on it, and a trailer to take it to plough days!
I just found your channel yesterday. Tonight I have searched for and found the first episode for the Preparation H tractor. Watching them all great videos
Outstanding. I spent a lot of hours on an M and a few on an H in my youth. Really looking forward to this series.
Thanks for bringing us along. You can tell in you voice and body language that you truly were having fun working on this one.
Well, I thought I was going to see a cycle-mower bar rebuild in this video. I'm fascinated by them.
Squatch, Thanks for doing such a good job. Your explanations are great - you use correct and understandable terms and words describing parts and procedures are greatly appreciated. Your use of flattened cardboard to cover your work area and to protect your shop set a great exam please for all of us.
And yet another fun project!!
Great video Squatch. It's nice to see the H getting some well deserved love. And like the rest of your machines it will be better than new when you're done. Cheers

Even if you replace the carriage bolt you will still have the habit!!! Good story!!!

Cool the H acts like she's wanting her works getting in tune and she has come apart rather easily and nicely too😊
Great work! I love how prepared and organized you are for each video.
Nice to see the old H getting some needed love. That was a great tractor to run for Plow day 2021. It never skipped a beat.
Toby, you need to keep the carriage bolt in for the shift lever just for Grandpa. Just put a lock nut on the other side. It's your tractor to do whatever you want, it's just a suggestion.
Always a pleasure watching you work and the history behind the machine
These early tractors and my 50s IH are a joy to work on really quite simple from front to back 👍 looking forward to this restoration 👌
enjoying this thanks. stay safe.
I see another painting episode down the road despite what you said last time! Anyway, when you take these machines apart like this the amount of space they take up must at least triple.

You moved through that so quickly, I thought you were were about to wrap up the video when it was only halfway done. It sure looks easy after x231

Stories not to be forgotten! Thanks!!
Good Video
😛😛😛❤❤👍👍👍
I am going to enjoy watching this series also. Thanks Squatch253 !
That was quick! No nonsense to strip that down to the basic access.
Tool box Supeer M. Crestet wrench, hammer, and hammer
Gramps had an H and a Super A. First drive was on the Super A...
My dad bought an H in 1948, we used a 3 bottom 12 inch little genius plow with it so didn’t need to turn the hubs inward to center the plow
What timing! My father and I are painting a 41’ H next weekend (hopefully if the weather is good). We are 3 years into a summer project
Looking forward to the entire series!
I have a Farmall 140 with a noisy trans also so this is good for me watching this H come apart give me the confidence I need to split my 140
I don't know, but I think I tune in for the magic you do.
I hope you keep the backwards stickers as a holdover from your grandfather.
You train a few more of your tools to operate themselves like that engine hoist and you can set back with a cup of coffee and enjoy show
Gonna be an awesome series!💪🏻
"Preparation H" - love it. ❤️
IH paint sure gives you a better attitude than Case paint.

Habits have to be kicked off slow at first. Best advice, put a lock-nut on the carriage-bolt for the first few months. Then, put the real lock-pin.
👍😆
I could watch a whole 3 hours of work like this
Toby, it sounds like your shop vacuum needs some bearings replaced
I would leave the carriage bolt in nice to think of your grandfather when you use the H
Thing’s sure were simpler back then! Only 15 minutes to get it torn down to the transmission! Nowadays they struggle to put a headlight in a vehicle in that time! Lol 😂

Leave the carriage bolt
You may have already said
How did you come across the two prototype tractors
If you have what video is it in
Great video as usual. Love hearing the stories of your Grandpa. Was he a good grandpa?
My Shop-Vac makes that exact same sound when you turn it off!
It looks like you have done this before. Awesome video .Denis from Santa Rosa CA
su trabajo es excelente,pero,ahora,intentelo hacer en dos metros cuadrados
Thank you 😊 💓 seemed like only seconds 😊😊😊😊😊 instead of years 😂😅😊
Good content. 👍
Story of Granddad and the carriage bolt is too cool!!! You should leave the carriage bolt if nothing else to carry the story!!! We have enough cancelation in our world today. Go history!!!
Vacuum bearing: "Kill me nooooowww". :))
Jokes aside, Nice first episode progress! Also, cool thumbnail, one doesn't get that view often.

I’m currently working on swapping a 560 top plate to a m and it looks like a bolt on swap idk about a h to a 460 but I bet it’s the same also
Yes, to the contradictions. 12V.
i always use a chassis ground and a direct ground...99% of electrical issues can be traced to faulty ground
Finally someone with a worse sounding shop vac than mine. 🤔
Problematic tractors that seem to never want leave the shop has become such a norm for me, I sometimes don't know how to act when one stays fixed after making the one repair it came in for!
This is a needed break from doing freeze plugs and engine mounts on my 83 Ramcharger

Looks just like home. Thank you.

3 inches of snow this morning insuring LeSueur will be about right.
My H has a bolt in the shifter as well, but mine falls out of the shift fork so it makes it easier to put it back in the right spot
"Preparation H Episode #1 - Gaining Access to the Rear End" 🤣🤣
I guess he's itching to get started😢😢😢
I have to change the front half of the pto shaft on my 41 h. Can you show how to access it? -Kevin

I think it's just a rough casting mark, not a crack.
You need to build yourself a gantry with a chain fall for all that lifting.
What do you use for the dedicated ground?....
The battery? or one spot on the frame?
This project looks like a real pain in the Preparation H.
